Calcium and actomyosin pulses drive tricellular zipping to remodel epithelial cell-cell junctions and facilitate cell packing

Babli Adhikary, Xinran O Zhao, Ashley Shahi…·Ann L Miller

The paper identifies tricellular zipping as a mechanism for epithelial junction remodeling, driven by calcium and actomyosin pulses, and shows its role in cell packing across Xenopus, mouse, and Drosophila embryos.

PAK4 promotes vertex remodeling to maintain epithelial integrity and barrier function

Babli Adhikary, Alexander Chang, Atsuko Y. Higashi…·Tomohito Higashi

This study shows PAK4 and Afadin cooperate to maintain epithelial integrity by promoting vertex remodeling, with PAK4 inhibition disrupting junctional continuity and barrier function.
